Scouting Report

6/23/21

6-foot-3, 165-pound projectable frame. During batting practice, the right-handed hitter clocked an exit velocity of 90 mph. Started in a balanced athletic stance with a controlled load, then used a small leg kick. Bat speed is efficient and has a rotational swing plane. Found lots of barrels with some loud contacts. Line drive approach. Above average while in the infield, made throws up to 79 mph; had smooth footwork. Out front fielding mechanics. Decent accuracy to the bag, used a high ¾ slot and a quick arm action. Performed well in the 60-yard dash, clocking a speedy time of 6.93. Norton showed nice, easy actions on the mound. The breaking ball (76-77 mph) was a power breaking ball that he showed the same slot as he did with the fastball. The fastball showed life at 85-87 mph, T88 mph with sink. The makings of a 90 + arm in the near future.

1/17/21

6-foot-2, 165-pound athletic frame. The athletic recruit showcased his speed with a sub-seven 60 time of 6.98. Started in a balanced stance with a smooth load, then used a controlled stride. Bat speed was explosive, showed short simple swing plane and good extension on his finish. Had a lot of loud contact during the round. Gap to gap approach. Advanced in the box, Norton had a max exit velocity of 88 mph. In the infield, recorded a position velocity of 84 mph; had a clean exchange, consistent footwork, and sure hands. Glovework is shown out front Consistent accuracy to the bases, used a high ¾ slot with a loose arm action. Above average on the mound, showed above average arm speed with a consistent arm action and a high ¾ arm angle. Feel type pitcher who shows easy effort. Showed consistent balance point. Threw his fastball 83-84 mph with a max of 85 mph; has tailing action and command around the zone. Throws a 11/5 curveball (74-77) with late action and consistent control. His changeup (78-80) had arm side command and fading action. Norton has tremendous potential both on the mound and as a position player.
